- Summary:
- Considered by many to be the greatest Russian poet of his generation, Joseph Brodsky (1940b?"1996) received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1987. Daniel Weissbort, closely associated with Brodsky as friend and translator, has produced a fascinating biographical (and autobiographical) study, giving particular attention to the problems of "Englishing" Brodsky's poems and Brodsky's relations with English. It is a telling contribution to translation studies and a searching meditation on the nature of language itself.
